The Day of the Dead / El Dia de Los Muertos: A Bilingual Celebration - Softcover

"The festive colors and imagery in Barner's cut-paper collages encapsulate the celebratory and memorial nature of the holiday"--Publishers Weekly

Follow two children as they celebrate their ancestors on this vibrant holiday. They offer marigolds, sugar skulls, and special bread, and make delicious foods. By spreading marigold petals, they guide the dead home to join the festivities. Finally, after singing and dancing, it's time for bed. Bob Barner's luscious collages incorporate the traditional symbols of Day of the Dead. His poetic text is both English and Spanish. An author's note provides additional information on the holiday.
